When you ask a tech question include information about your computer and viewer. If the viewer will at least show the login screen, get the info from the viewer's Help-About... and paste that into your post with your question. Help->About... provides all the version numbers we need.  To add your info to an existing question use OPTIONS->EDIT. It’s in the upper right of your post.

It also helps to know if you are using a laptop or a desktop and a wired or wireless connection.

Without that information all we can do is guess. That means you have to try all our bad guesses and eliminate them one by one. This is easier for all of us, if you give us good information to start with.

I'm not sure what you mean by drifting. Your camera generally moves with your avatar. In 3rd person you can click on an object and your camera will then move eith that object. But, you can't do that in mouse-look/1st person. If the mouse moves or the avatar moves the camera moves.

In the main SL viewer my camera is rock steady in mouselook at ground level, as long as the avatar does not move and I don't move the mouse.

Hi Maggie,

Your symptoms are not quite like those described in these threads, but nevertheless...

I have the same problem. I go into mouselook and when my hand isn't on the mouse and the mouse ins't moving, the camera just... slides to the side, or slides up, or slides down, whatever. I've cleaned the mouse, changed the batteries and just hooked up a brand new mouse five minutes ago. The old viewer it never did drift, and this is a real problem for people who do combat.

I started having the same issue*:  When I move my mouse a tiny bit, and then stop, the view would continue to drift in the direction I moved.  I found this post from 2006 which helped me solve the issue.

Apparently the drifting is tied to the UI size setting.  Preferences -> User Interface -> General, UI Scalling.

Mine was set to 1.0; when I changed it to 0.98 or 0.95, the drifting stopped. When I increased the number to 1.02 or 1.05, the drifting still occurred.

 

* I recently upgraded to windows 10, that's when I noticed the drifting.
